• 12/18/2018· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, PARTICULARLY TO PARK, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. YOU CAN PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE KEEPS GOING. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN AT A SLOWER SPEED, IN BOTH DRIVE AND REVERSE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND THE VACUUM PUMP HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, AS I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP.

• 12/17/2022· STRUCTURECrash

  Near collision with pedestrian in crosswalks on left turns and near collision with pedestrians crossing multi lane roads who entering from a landscaped center island. I have repeatedly experienced this situation even though I am acutely aware of the view obstruction created by the large A-pillar, air bag and drivers side mirror. It has become evident from the incidents in my neighborhood that trucks and SUV's are involved in the fatalities at crosswalks and multi lane roadways. An recent fatality occurred on December 10 2022 in Poway at the intersection of Midland and Edgmoore Rd. 35yr old women killed in crosswalk by driver making left turn. The January 24th 2022 fatality happened on Community Rd. in Poway 92064. It would appear your forms are incident focused and not geared to identify safety hazards that have not been considered. Please contact me to discus this safety issue if you have seen an unexplained increase in pedestrian traffic fatalities that involve trucks and suv's. Thank You,

  2016 Tahoe with 57,000 miles. All 4 of the shocks are locked up. The truck bumps very hard with no give making control at high speeds dangerous. This problem is known to Chevrolet if you look at the reviews but nothing is done to recall or fix. Instead they expect the customer to discover it and pay $4,000 to replace. I discovered because of bad situation on the highway. Are they going to wait until someone is killed? Chevrolet should not only replace them in recall but should pay all customer back for their costs.

  I bought my Tahoe from Dan Vaden Chevrolet in Savannah, GA with approx 58k miles. At around 88k miles I noticed the transmission hesitated when putting into reverse or drive from the park position. I had my transmission fluid changed at 70k and 100k miles. Now, at 112k miles, it has significantly gotten worse with shuddering between gears 1-3 and jerking when in reverse. Major hesitation when accelerating at any speed and high pitched whining noises that randomly happen, even after putting it in park and turning it off. Also, my ABS and Stabilitrak lights will illuminate and then go off every few days. As well as another random icon that randomly comes and goes. This Tahoe is now unsafe to drive but it’s the only transportation I have. I already missed a radiator replacement recall by 1,500 miles and had to pay for that out of pocket. Now Chevrolet isn’t recalling this transmission when it has over 190 complaints on this website alone, and thousands of others on other online forums. What will it take for the manufacturer to do the right thing? Will someone have to die in order for this to become an issue they stop ignoring? We have all spent money we worked hard to earn and deserve a vehicle that’s safe for our families.

  ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING AND THOUGHT MAYBE I HIT A SLICK SPOT ON THE ROAD BUT THE SAME THING DID NOT HAPPEN TO OTHER CARS. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR STARTED SLIDING LIKE IT WAS ON ICE BUT THE BRAKES AND STEERING WERE NON FUNCTIONAL. I COULD TURN THE WHEEL AND PRESS THE BRAKES BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR, NO ALARMS OR MESSAGES CAME UP BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER THE INCIDENTS. I WAS VERY LUCKY IN BOTH INSTANCES IN THAT THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE.

  Driving down the freeway at 75 mph and the headlight started flickering any time I would use my blinker. 5 minutes later the car automatically breaks hard all by itself along with the dash lights going off and the doors locking and unlocking. 3 days later driving in town taking a hard left suddenly I get alerts on the dashboard saying, "parking assist off" and "stabilitrak" then suddenly my steering wheel JERKS VIOLENTLY all the way to the right. This happened 2x when I am driving!!! It is available for inspection upon request. If this steering wheel malfunction happens to someone driving down an interstate someone could die. It just happened yesterday so I have not gotten it in to be looked at yet. There was zero warning it all happens suddenly and out of nowhere.

I HAVE PLACE TWO CANS OF REFRIGERATE IN THE SYSTEM IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK. I CAN NOT IDENTIFY ANY LEAKS. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE VOICED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES AND REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT IS UNFAIR CONSIDERING I HAVE NOT DAMAGED THE VEHICLE.

• 11/27/2021· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  I was driving on the 405 freeway, passing through Orange,, County, CA. While adjusting the sound level of the radio, part of the Infotainment system, the volume jumped to maximum level. These automobiles have superior sound systems and the sound was at a painful level. Nothing that I could touch had any effect on the sound level. Also in the car was my wife and a young granddaughter who started crying. So I had to exit the freeway and find a parking place where I could stop the engine and allow the Infotainment system reset and I could then select a normal volume. This could have been the cause of an accident because all of my attention was turned to the electronics. Freezes and non operation of the other features of these electronics has also occurred which causes the driver to turn his attention to getting things working again. What is severely needed is a way to easily reset the electronics by the driver. This could be a simple button on the steering wheel or a combination of buttons that would safely reset the system back to normal while driving.

  ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A CLICKING SOUND FOR THE LAST YEAR. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS THE BRAKES SEEM MUSHY WHEN PRESSED AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS DRIVING INTO THE GARAGE OR A PARKING SPACE. WE HAVE TO PUSH THE BREAK PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. WE ALMOST RAN INTO THE WALL IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. MOSTLY LIKELY THIS IS WHY THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A TICKING SOUND, BECAUSE OF THE LEAK.

• 11/25/2023· SERVICE BRAKES

  While driving at low speeds, the brake pedal became very difficult to engage and the car did not stop as intended. This affects the ability of the vehicle to stop in areas with frequent pedestrian traffic such as driveways and parking lots creating a substantial safety risk. The vehicle has not been to a repair shop or dealership to investigate further at this time. There are no warning lights or messages from the vehicle computer system. This issue sounds like an issue researched on the internet for Chevy vehicles, but this VIN is not covered by a prior recall. The symptoms seem to be the same as described in NHTSA Campaign Number 19V645000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic).

  I AM A POLICE FLEET MANAGER THAT HAS AN ALL CHEVY TAHOE FLEET. IN OCTOBER 2019, I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FOR CHEVY RECALL N192268490 AND EVERY VEHICLE IN THE FLEET WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE RECALL. THE RECALL WAS TO REPROGRAM THE BRAKES, SO BRAKING WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE EVEN IF THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT ADDRESS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS A FAULTY SECONDARY HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST VACUUM PUMP. I WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAD TWO TAHOES ALREADY HAVE A VACUUM BOOSTER FAILURE, WHICH RESULTED IN AN EXTREMELY HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHICH WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM ARISES DURING SLOW SPEED BRAKING, SUCH AS PARKING LOTS OR SLOW SPEED PATROL. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLES TO CHEVY FOR THE RECALL, AN OFFICER WAS MANEUVERING SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN EXTREMELY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE OFFICER WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE, BARELY AVOIDING A COLLISION. OBVIOUSLY, GM'S BAND-AID RECALL DOES NOT FIX OR EVEN OVERRIDE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE SERVICE PROVIDERS AGREED THE RECALL WAS A PLACEBO AND THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM BOOSTER. AS PER A RECENT LETTER FROM GM, THEY HAVE GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VACUUM PUMP, FOR FREE REPLACEMENT. SO, OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE LIABILITY PLACED ON MUNICIPALITIES, WHO HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO USE THEIR FLEET VEHICLES WITH KNOWN BRAKING ISSUES, IS AN UNFAIR BURDEN AND RISK. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE VACUUM BOOSTERS! *JS

  My 6 yr old chevy Tahoe felt like it was hesitating when driving. I called my local garage and dropped it off. They informed me after inspection that the lifters have failed and now cylinders are in deactivation made. The fix is a new Engine. 10-14k dollars. They informed me this is a known issue in this model. I called chevy customer service. I Took Tahoe to a chevy dealer. They confirmed the diagnosis. I have no recall, no engine light on and am told driving it will cause more serious damage and eventually will not run. Chevy is unresponsive to my pleas for financial assistance and I am left without a driveable car.
